Delhi and the Treasures of Agra

If you only have two days and want to see two of the most famous cities in India, then this program is perfect for you.

Delhi is not just the capital of India, but also one of the largest and oldest cities in the world. According to legend, it was destroyed 11 times and rose from the ruins the same number of times. Thanks to such a long and eventful history, Delhi is a real paradise for the inquisitive tourist. It has a huge number of religious, architectural and cultural monuments, which left behind numerous peoples who have ever inhabited this territory.

And how not to visit the magnificent Agra!!! Not to learn the story of unearthly love, which was the cause of the appearance of one of the wonders of the world snow-white Taj Mahal.

Day 00: Delhi

Meeting at the airport, transfer to the hotel, accommodation, rest.

Twenty million metropolis is divided into new and old city. In New Delhi, the most important administrative structures are concentrated. Most of the local nobility lives here. And in Old Delhi, life boils according to the laws of the multimillion-dollar jungle and medieval exoticism. Narrow streets, low houses, and very near modern high-rises and wide avenues ... You have to see it!! Truly a city of contrasts!!!

Overnight in Delhi.

Day 1: Delhi

Breakfast at the hotel. After that, we will visit the most beautiful and famous places of this amazing city: the temple of Aksharhdam is the most majestic Hindu temple in the world, which is listed in the Guinness Book of Records, it really impresses with its size, luxury and beauty; Gurudwara Bangla Sahb is a Sikh temple (it is the largest in Delhi) the main building is completely made of marble and decorated with golden domes; Lakshmi Narayan temple is one of the most sacred places, plowniki come here from all over the country; an unusual, but certainly incredibly beautiful method of the ancient religions, where Gorama is erased according to the ancient religions. We will see the most ancient place of the city, the minaret of Qutub Minar that has survived to this day (it is here that the ancient column, which does not rust, is located, this architectural monument is more than 1500 years old).

Overnight in Agra

Day 2: Agra

Early morning after breakfast visit the Taj Mahal mausoleum.

It was built by Shah Jahan, one of the most powerful Mongols. Its construction began in 1632 and it was erected by the monarch in memory of his deceased wife, Empress Mumtaz Mahal. According to the plan of Shah Jahan, Taj should become a symbol of the fabulous beauty of his deceased wife. And he succeeded. Truly majestic, divine, radiant and, despite its height, such a light and airy Taj Mahal is rightly considered “the pearl of the architecture of the Mongol style”. The complex was built for 22 years by hands of more than 20 thousand masters.

Then we will visit the ancient Red Fort. The Red Fort in Agra is the story of three generations of the Great Mongols, a story of brutal wars, stunning love, the struggle for power and the fall of a great Empire. White marble palaces with elements of precious stones and gold.

And of course, we will visit the very first marble structure of the Mongols – the tomb of Itimad-Ud-Daula, better known as Bebi Taj. The marble walls of this monument are inlaid with precious and semi-precious stones. This unique technology of working with stone, which was used in the construction of the mausoleum of the Taj Mahal and has not changed for 400 years, if desired, we can see in the “marble factory”. The traditions and secrets of this skill are strictly guarded and passed down from generation to generation exclusively along the male line.

After that, we will be back on the expressway to Delhi and you will have no problems catching evening flights to continue your journey.

You can arrange accommodation in hotels as 3 * - 4 *, and 5 * on request. All transfers from the airport, to the airport and along the route in comfortable air-conditioned cars. And I, a Russian-speaking guide, will accompany you along the route and help organize your vacation.

The program can be changed according to your wishes.
